Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and compositions for separating emulsions of hydrocarbons and water, and more particularly relates, in one embodiment, to methods and compositions for transferring metals and/or amines to an aqueous phase in an emulsion breaking process.
- the crude is usually contaminated from several sources, including, but not necessarily limited to:
- Desalting is necessary prior to further processing to remove these salts and other inorganic materials that would otherwise cause fouling and deposits in downstream heat exchanger equipment and/or form corrosive salts detrimental to crude oil processing equipment. Further, these metals can act as poisons for the catalysts used in downstream refinery units. Effective crude oil desalting can help minimize the effects of these contaminants on the crude unit and downstream operations. Proper desalter operations provide the following benefits to the refiner:
- Desalting is the resolution of the natural emulsion of water that accompanies the crude oil by creating another emulsion in which about 5 percent relative wash water is dispersed into the oil using a mix valve.
- the emulsion mix is directed into a desalter vessel containing a parallel series of electrically charged plates. Under this arrangement, the oil and water emulsion is exposed to the applied electrical field. An induced dipole is formed on each water droplet within the emulsion that causes electrostatic attraction and coalescence of the water droplets into larger and larger droplets.
- the emulsion resolves into two separate phases—the oil phase (top layer) and the water phase (bottom layer).
- the streams of desalted crude oil and effluent water are separately discharged from the desalter.
- the entire desalting process is a continuous flow procedure as opposed to a batch process.
- chemical additives are injected before the mix valve to help resolve the oil/water emulsion in addition to the use of electrostatic coalescence. These additives effectively allow small water droplets to more easily coalesce by lowering the oil/water interfacial tension.
- Crude oil that contains a high percent of particulate solids can complicate the desalting process.
- the particulate solids by nature, would prefer to transfer to the water phase.
- much of the solids in a crude oil from a field exists in tight water-in-oil emulsions. That is, oil-wetted solids in high concentration in the crude may help form tight oil and water emulsions that are difficult to resolve.
- These tight emulsions are often referred to as “rag” and may exist as a layer between the separated oil and water phases.
- the rag layer inside the desalter vessel may grow to such an extent that some of it will be inadvertently discharged with the water phase. This is a problem for the waste water treatment plant since the rag layer still contains a high percentage of unresolved emulsified oil.
- iron As mentioned, much of the solids encountered during crude oil desalting consists of iron, most commonly as particulate iron such as iron oxide, iron sulfide, etc.
- Other metals that are desirably removed include, but are not necessarily limited to, calcium, zinc, silicon, nickel, sodium, potassium, and the like, and typically a number of these metals are present. Some of the metals may be present in a soluble form. The metals may be present in inorganic or organic forms.
- iron and other metals are of particular concern to further downstream processing. This includes the coking operation since iron and other metals remaining in the processed hydrocarbon yields a lower grade of coke. Removing the metals from the crude oil early in the hydrocarbon processing stages is desired to eventually yield high quality coke as well as to limit corrosion and fouling processing problems.
- the desalter only removes water soluble inorganic salts such as sodium or potassium chlorides.
- Some crude oils contain water insoluble metal organic acid salts such as calcium naphthenante and iron naphthenate, which are soluble or dispersed as fine particulate matter in the oil but not in water.
- Nonyl phenol resins have been used as desalting additives in the past, but these materials have come under suspicion as possible hormonal mimics and are ineffective by themselves of removing metals such as calcium or iron.
- a method of transferring metals and/or amines from a hydrocarbon phase to a water phase involving adding to an emulsion of hydrocarbon and water, an effective amount of a composition to transfer metals and/or amines from a hydrocarbon phase to a water phase containing at least one water-soluble hydroxyacid.
- the water-soluble hydroxyacid may be glycolic acid, gluconic acid, C 2 -C 4 alpha-hydroxy acids, poly-hydroxy carboxylic acids, thioglycolic acid, chloroacetic acid, polymeric forms of the above hydroxyacids, poly-glycolic esters, glycolate ethers, and ammonium salt and alkali metal salts of these hydroxyacids, and mixtures thereof.
- the emulsion is then resolved into hydrocarbon phase and an aqueous phase, where at least a portion of the metals and/or amines have been transferred. to the aqueous phase. This is accomplished by converting the water insoluble salt such as calcium naphthenate into a water soluble salt such as calcium glycolate.
- compositions for transferring metals and/or amines from a hydrocarbon phase to a water phase that includes a water-soluble hydroxyacid (as defined above, including the salts thereof), and a mineral acid.
- compositions for transferring metals and/or amines from a hydrocarbon phase to a water phase that includes a water-soluble hydroxyacid (as defined above, including the salts thereof) and at least one additional component that may be a hydrocarbon solvent, a corrosion inhibitor, a demulsifier, a scale inhibitor, metal chelants, wetting agents and mixtures thereof.
- a water-soluble hydroxyacid as defined above, including the salts thereof
- additional component may be a hydrocarbon solvent, a corrosion inhibitor, a demulsifier, a scale inhibitor, metal chelants, wetting agents and mixtures thereof.
- a treated hydrocarbon emulsion that includes hydrocarbon, water, and a composition for transferring metals and/or amines from a hydrocarbon phase to a water phase comprising a water-soluble hydroxyacid (as defined above, including the salts thereof).
- the FIGURE is a graph of various amines and ammonia partitioning across desalters as a function of pH.
- glycolic acid hydroxy-acetic acid
- other water-soluble hydroxyacids can significantly reduce the amount of calcium and other metals and/or amines in the hydrocarbon when it is run through a desalter in a refinery.
- the inventors have compared the “normal” desalting on a reference crude oil containing higher than normal amounts of calcium and found minimal calcium removal.
- the addition of glycolic acid in levels of up to a 5:1 ratio with calcium results in much lower metals and/or amine content of the desalted oil.
- the levels of metals other than calcium such as iron, zinc, silicon, nickel, sodium and potassium are also reduced.
- removing the metals and/or amines from the hydrocarbon or crude is meant any and all partitioning, sequestering, separating, transferring, eliminating, dividing, removing, of one or more metal from the hydrocarbon or crude to any extent.
- the glycolic acid is typically added to the wash water in the desalter. This improves distribution of the acid in the oil although addition to the aqueous phase should not be viewed as a requirement for the composition of the invention to work.
- composition and method of the invention will be valuable to produce high quality (i.e., high purity) coke from crude that may originally have contained high concentrations of metals and/or amines and solids, including iron-based solids. Further, the invention advances the technology by removing inorganic material from the crude oil without discharging any oil or emulsion to the waste treatment plant.
- the metals include, but are not necessarily limited to, those of Groups IA, IIA, VB, VIII, IIB and IVA of the Periodic Table (CAS version).
- the metals include, but are not necessarily limited to calcium, iron, zinc, silicon, nickel, sodium, potassium, vanadium, and combinations thereof.
- nickel and vanadium are known poisons for catalysts used in fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) downstream.
- the amines removed in accordance with the method of this invention may include, but are not necessarily limited to, monoethanolamine (MEA); diethanolamine (DEA); triethanolamine (TEA); N-methylethanolamine; N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DMEA); morpholine; N-methyl morpholine; ethylenediamine (EDA); methoxypropylamine (MOPA); N-ethyl morpholine (EMO); N-methyl ethanolamine, N-methyldiethanolamine and combinations thereof.
- the composition of the invention includes a water-soluble hydroxy acid.
- Hydroxy acids are defined herein as not including or exclusive of acetic acid. Acetic acid has sometimes been used to remove metals as well, but it has a high oil solubility and tends to stay with the hydrocarbon coming from the desalter. The acidity of the acetic acid can then cause corrosion problems in the crude unit.
- the water-soluble hydroxy acids are much more water-soluble and will not partition as much into the crude oil, thus reducing downstream concerns. They are also less volatile and do not distill into the crude unit overhead system where they can increase corrosion rates when combined with the water usually present at this location.
- the water-soluble hydroxyacid is selected from the group consisting of glycolic acid, C 1 -C 4 alpha-hydroxy acids, poly-hydroxy carboxylic acids, thioglycolic acid, chloroacetic acid, polymeric forms of the above hydroxyacids, glycolate ethers, poly-glycolic esters, and mixtures thereof. While thioglycolic acid and chloroacetic acid are not strictly speaking hydroxyacids, they are functional equivalents thereof. For the purposes of this invention, they are defined as hydroxyacids.
- the alpha substituent on the C 1 -C 4 alpha-hydroxy acids may be any C 1 -C 4 straight or branched alkyl group.
- the alpha substituent may be C 2 -C 4 straight or branched alkyl group and lactic acid is not included.
- Gluconic acid CH 2 OH(CHOH) 4 COOH, is a non-limiting but preferred polymer of glycolic acid.
- the glycolate ethers may have the formula:
- glycolate esters may have a formula:
- n is as above.
- Thioglycolic acid and the ethers of glycolic acid may have the added benefits of a higher boiling point, and possibly increased water solubility.
- a higher boiling point means the additive will not distill into the distillate fractions in the crude unit and cause corrosion or product quality concerns.
- the higher water solubility also favors removal of the additive from the crude in the desalter and reduces the amount that may reach the downstream processing units.
- water-soluble hydroxyacids includes ammonium salt and alkali metal salts (e.g. sodium and potassium salts, etc.) of these hydroxyacids alone or in combination with the other water-soluble hydroxyacids mentioned.
- alkali metal salts e.g. sodium and potassium salts, etc.
- Such salts would be formed in the desalter wash water as the system's pH was adjusted with pH adjusters such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia, and the like.
- the water-soluble hydroxyacids do not include citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, and lactic acid.
- the definition of water-soluble hydroxyacids does not include organic acid anhydrides, particularly acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, stearic, phthalic and benzoic anhydrides.
- glycolic acid and gluconic acid may be used to remove calcium and amines
- thioglycolic acid may be used for iron removal, from crude oil or another hydrocarbon phase.
- water-soluble hydroxyacids will be used together with other additives including, but not necessarily limited to, corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers, pH adjusters, metal chelants, scale inhibitors, hydrocarbon solvents, and mixtures thereof, in a commercial process.
- Metal chelants are compounds that complex with metals to form chelates.
- mineral acids may be used since metal removal is best accomplished at an acidic pH.
- the use of combinations of water-soluble hydroxyacids, particularly glycolic acid or gluconic acid, and mineral acids may give the best economics in a commercial application.
- Suitable mineral acids for use in conjunction with the water-soluble hydroxyacids of this invention include, but are not necessarily limited to, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, phosphorous acid, and mixtures thereof.
- the method of this invention is practiced in a refinery desalting process that involves washing the crude emulsion with wash water.
- the amount of mineral acid used may be sufficient to lower the pH of the wash water to 6 or below.
- the water-soluble hydroxyacids (and salts thereof are expected to be useful over a wide pH range, although in some situations it may be necessary or desirable to adjust the pH to achieve the desired contaminant transfer or separation.
- the necessary, effective or desired proportions of the hydroxyacid and/or the mineral acid will be difficult to predict in advance, since these proportions or dosages are dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, the nature of the hydrocarbon, the concentration of metal species and amine to be removed, the temperature and pressure conditions of method, the particular hydroxyacid and mineral acid used, etc.
- the more of a species, such as calcium, there is to be removed the more of the reactive acid that must be added. Since many undesirable species are affected, a successful metal removal process may require more reactive acid on a stoichiometric basis than would be indicated by the concentration of only the target species. It may therefore be insufficient to only just add enough acid to get the pH below 6.
- the composition may comprise down to about 1 wt. % water-soluble hydroxyacid; and up to about 20 wt. % mineral acid, preferably from about 1 to about 100 wt. % water-soluble hydroxyacid; and from about 1 to about 20 wt. % mineral acid, and most preferably from about 25 to about 85 wt. % water-soluble hydroxyacid; and from about 15 to about 75 wt. % mineral acid.
- the mineral acid is optional and may be omitted.
- the additive blend of this invention is injected into the wash water before the mix valve in neat form or diluted with water, alcohol or similar solvent suitable to keep all additive components in solution.
- the amount of solvent used may range from about 10 to about 95 wt. %, based on the total composition, preferably from about 20 to about 10 wt. %.
- the concentration of the additive blend composition of this invention to be used in the crude oil to be effective is very difficult to predict in advance since it depends on multiple, interrelated factors including, but not limited to, the composition of the crude, the desalting conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.), the flow rate of the crude and its residence time in the desalter, among others. Nevertheless, for the purposes of non-limiting illustration, the proportion of the active water-soluble hydroxyacid that may be used in the crude (not including any solvent or mineral acid) may range from about 1 to about 2000 ppm-w, more preferably from about 10 to about 500 ppm-w and will depend on the concentration of metal species to be removed. The organic hydroxy acid reacts stoichiometrically with the organo metal and/or amine species to be removed.
- the amount of water-soluble hydroxyacid is stoichiometric with the amount of metals and/or amines present, or greater than stoichiometric.
- the refinery may chose to leave some of the metal and/or amine species in the crude at an acceptably low level of contamination of hydrocarbon. In those cases the treatment level of the hydroxy acids can be correspondingly reduced.
- metals and/or amines transfer to the aqueous phase.
- 25% or less metal and/or amine is present in the hydrocarbon phase after desalting, preferably 20% or less metal and/or amine remains, most preferably only 10% or less remains.
- refinery may chose to leave higher percentages of metal and/or amine contaminants in the crude if the detrimental effects are judged to be economically acceptable.
- Electrostatic Desalting Dehydration Apparatus (EDDA) Test Method was employed to screen possible blend compositions.
- the EDDA is a laboratory test device to simulate the desalting process.
- the crude oil used was from an African country that has a high calcium content.
- the water-soluble hydroxyacid used (glycolic acid) effectively removed or transferred a variety of metals from the oil phase to the water phase.
- the inventive method was particularly effective on the high content metals such as calcium and potassium.
- Tables III-VI provide additional data showing the transfer of various metals from a hydrocarbon phase to a water phase using the water-soluble hydroxyacids of the invention.
- the various components are defined as follows (all proportions are volume percents):
- the FIGURE presents a graph showing the partitioning across desalters of various amines and ammonia as a function of pH.
- water-soluble hydroxyacids of this invention such as glycolic and gluconic acid
- the addition of water-soluble hydroxyacids of this invention such as glycolic and gluconic acid to the desalter wash water at the use rates specified herein will reduce the water's pH to the range of about 3-6.5.

where n is as above. Thioglycolic acid and the ethers of glycolic acid may have the added benefits of a higher boiling point, and possibly increased water solubility. A higher boiling point means the additive will not distill into the distillate fractions in the crude unit and cause corrosion or product quality concerns. The higher water solubility also favors removal of the additive from the crude in the desalter and reduces the amount that may reach the downstream processing units.
